2008 Cadillac CTS to Feature Enhanced Vehicle Traction, Stability and Handling

2008 Cadillac CTS to Feature Enhanced Vehicle Traction, Stability and HandlingAUBURN HILLS, MI (August 3, 2007) - The 2008 Cadillac CTS will offer BorgWarner's all-wheel drive (AWD) technology as optional equipment for the first time, beginning later this summer.  The new InterActive Torque Management Transfer Case (ITM tc) system uses sophisticated controls and algorithms to augment vehicle handling and traction by optimally using grip at both the front and rear wheels. In addition, the ITM tc system uses BorgWarner's Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) software, which is designed to work in cooperation with other vehicle safety systems such as anti- lock brakes and electronic stability programs to further improve traction, stability, and performance. BorgWarner's torque management portfolio consists of a full line of active torque management devices focused on the needs of the expanding all-wheel drive market. In the new CTS, ITM tc can shift up to 100 percent of available torque to the front axle if needed. In addition to providing the transfer case hardware, BorgWarner will also supply the software controls and electronics for vehicle level integration support - core competencies of BorgWarner that provide automakers with outstanding vehicle performance.(Source: BorgWarner Inc.)
